Since you’re on Linux, you’ve (almost certainly) got the
/procfilesystem mounted. That means that the easiest method is going to be to get a list of the contents of/proc/self/fd; each file in there is named after a FD. (Useg_dir_open,g_dir_read_nameandg_dir_closeto do the listing, of course.)Getting the information otherwise is moderately awkward (there’s no helpful POSIX API for example; this is an area that wasn’t standardized).
